Extended Strongly Typed Resource Generator

The Extended Strongly Typed Resource Generator is a complete remake of the existing Visual Studio .NET resource generator (ResXFileCodeGenerator custom tool).

The Extended Strongly Typed Resource Generator offers the following advantages over the standard one:

• Analyses string resources, detects the .NET formatting feature compliant strings and generates the formatting aware resource accessor methods in resource wrapper classes.
• Fixed the problem with thread unsafe initialization of the ResourceManager property in resource wrapper classes.
• Exposes resource names via the nested resource wrapper class.
• Generates resource wrappers compatible with the .NET Compact Framework.
• Generates resource wrappers compatible with Silverlight.
• Generated resource wrapper classes are excluded from obfuscation.
